Topic: The Bush Baby Prototype (Read 18944 times)

I received my bush baby prototype from petrifiedwood a couple of months ago and did a brief review "elsewhere".

When I have a few minutes I'll try to re-create the text from memory, but the short version is that this is a handy dandy little blade that has done everything I have asked it to do.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a few

The Bush Baby is currently out for testing but since a few more have "hit the streets" since the prototype, those who have them are invited to chime in with their impressions.

Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? One should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved.

It's a very fun little knife. It does everything I ask it to do with the only limitation so far being its size. I don't believe I can batton through a mature redwood, otherwise its a can do cutting tool.

It may constitute knife abuse but I'll take the heat for it since I green lighted the experiment.

I'm thinking its going to be a pretty effective projectile and if the worst happens, I'll order another one.

My two favorite lines were "sorry Mike" and " I think this would fend off a dog".

That was hysterical, thanks buddy.

If your done with it, see if Ches wants to play with it next. He'll probably do some actual bushcraft.

Hey if it keeps the kinfe from falling out, and keeps you from getting cut, then it's a good sheath. How it looks is secondary to how it works.

It was an accident waiting to happen until creek worked on it.

I recently sent this bush baby out to one of our very talented members to put a set of wood scales on it and make it a leather sheath.

So this one is not available.

I do however have a second one that PW made with micarta scales and a kydex sheath.

Just saying....

Now here is what a fully clothed bush baby looks like, Cocobolo scales, Mosaic pins and finally a pair of pants worthy of the blade. This is the knife pictured in the first post on this thread.

My apologies for the poor photography, the pics really don't do the knife justice.
